KRC Genk is showing interest in Isaak Davies, the loaned striker from KV Kortrijk. Davies has impressed in South West Flanders this season, scoring 8 goals in 26 games.
The Welshman is even the third most efficient attacker in the Jupiler Pro League. Although he plays on loan at Kortrijk, he has quickly won the hearts of the fans. Clubs such as Brentford, Southampton, Freiburg and AS Monaco are also showing interest.
Davies is considering his return to Cardiff City, but with multiple options on the table, his future remains uncertain.
KRC Genk wants one of the most striking strikers in the Jupiler Pro League
Isaak Davies (22), currently on loan at KV Kortrijk from Cardiff City, has emerged as one of the most striking strikers in the Belgian league this season. His strong performances have attracted the attention of several domestic and foreign clubs.
According to The Sun Brentford, Southampton, Freiburg and AS Monaco are all showing interest in the young Welshman, while KRC Genk have also expressed their interest.
Genk has been struggling with serious problems in the attacking line since the departure of Paul Onuachu, and Davies seems to be the type of player who can give the Limburgers an injection of quality.
His versatility would make him a valuable asset; he can play as a striker or behind the strikers, and even on the flanks. His lightning speed, great depth, and ability to utilize space have made him an important player at KV Kortrijk.
He often makes the difference for the Guys, which is certainly not self-evident for a team fighting relegation. So it could be particularly interesting to see what Davies could be capable of at a top Belgian club.
Isaak Davies brings fire to KV Kortrijk
Isaak Davies moved from Cardiff City to KV Kortrijk on loan this season. The young Welshman came through the youth ranks at the English club, as well as the Wales national teams, and made his first-team debut two years ago.
In the past two seasons he has also made a big impression in the Cardiff first team. However, at the start of the previous season, Cardiff decided to take a different course.
Despite two seasons of relegation battle in the Championship, the club had higher ambitions that they wanted to achieve with experienced players. Unfortunately, this meant that there was no longer room for young talent like Davies at Cardiff.
At the start of this season he received the news that he could leave on a rental basis, with KV Kortrijk being seen as the ideal destination. Newspaper of West Flanders predicted that Davies would bring fire to KVK’s offensive line, and so far he has delivered on that prediction.
Davies returns to Cardiff? “Things can happen quickly in football”
Isaak Davies is known for his tremendous work ethic and has the ability to score a goal on a regular basis. He has not regretted his choice for KV Kortrijk for a second and is thoroughly enjoying his time in South-West Flanders.
“Georgia (his girlfriend, ed.) and I have made friends for life here. I have become a better player in Belgium and I am extremely grateful to KVK for that,” he said The last news.
“I would like to thank them by keeping this great club in the first division. After that I normally return to Cardiff, but you never know. In football things can happen quickly.”
With interest from clubs such as KRC Genk, Brentford, Southampton, Freiburg and AS Monaco, the 22-year-old already has plenty of options after this season.
Davies is the third most efficient striker in the Jupiler Pro League
“Never fall in love with a loan player,” wrote KV Kortrijk on Instagram. But Isaak Davies has played deep into the hearts of the KVK fans, and the Guys would like to keep the attacker for longer.
Whether this is financially feasible remains a big question mark, of course.
Davies has received a lot of praise this season, but one important area for improvement has also emerged. “There are no good figures to present yet, but there is youthful enthusiasm,” wrote Newspaper of West Flanders.
Yet his performance on paper should not be underestimated. With 8 goals in 26 games this season for a relegation candidate, he is performing anything but poorly.
Although his goals per 90 minutes are not particularly high (0.24), his efficiency is remarkable. Davies converts 26% of his goal chances into a goal. Among all strikers in the Jupiler Pro League, only Igor Thiago (Club Brugge) and Lucas Stassin (KVC Westerlo) are sharper in the box than him.
In addition, the Welshman is known for his numerous accelerations with and without the ball, which also puts him among the top three Belgian strikers in that regard.
